About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! I’ve worked for various horse ranches taking care of the animals and I have my very own puppy at home. Previously, I took care of senior dogs so I consider myself well-rounded with ages. I’m currently a full-time student so my weekly routine is pretty flexible at the moment! Many of my classes are online so that makes things much easier to continue to be flexible. I have 11 acres that my puppy explores and plays on, and we use a personal crate for nap times so he feels like he has his own space.
About: About me - I love taking care of animals. I have grown up with large and small dogs. I have always been the person in my family who has had the closest relationship with all of our dogs. I am the person who feeds them, bathes them, walks them, and plays with them. Along with the normal care that a dog needs, I also have more experience than the normal person because one of my dogs had puppies. It was my large dog so she had eight puppies and I spent about ten weeks, night and day, caring for the puppies. It was a lot of work but I loved it and I learned how much care that puppies need. I am also very responsible, so I always show up on time and do my work to the best of my abilities. I will take great care of any animals I am responsible for. I currently work with students at a church. I currently work at a church which has a flexible work from home at times schedule!! I am often available during the morning, day, and evenings! I am very active and a huge animal lover so I am happy to walk animals, play with their toys, or hang out with them inside if they are older and are less active!! I enjoy any time I get with an animal. Seeing a dog on my walk makes my day!

For drop-ins, I stick to your pet’s normal routine with feedings, potty breaks, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love (plus photo updates for you!). For dog walks, I provide safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level and reinforce good leash habits. For house sitting, I keep your pet comfortable in their own home by following their regular schedule and giving them plenty of companionship and attention.

About: I’ve been a pet owner of cats and dogs all my life. I’ve also owned lizards and a Guinea Pig. I’m currently a teacher, but went to school at first to be a veterinarian. I worked at a veterinarian’s office as a kennel technician. I am very patient and put others’ needs before my own. 🚨Beginning Aug. 1, I will NOT be available until AFTER 5:00 on M-Th. I am available most Fridays and weekends. I do enjoy traveling on school breaks and will update my availability accordingly. My own dog is selective, so I will not be hosting pets at my own house. In your home, I will follow all directions and supervise your dog while in the yard per most HOA rules. I’ve given all types of medications in a variety of ways.
About: I've helped to take care of our dogs since I was around 8. We've had quite a few growing up, and currently, I take care of 2 dogs at home, a Siberian Husky, and a Staffordshire Terrier. I've also helped care for my Grandma's ranch dogs when she'd go on trips. I feed, walk, and bathe them; I'm the go-to guy for our dogs in my house, lol. Previously a Shift Lead at Pet Supermarket (store closed). Have plenty of experience with many different animals and am always available to take care of your pets! I'll find myself brushing my Husky at least five times a week with how much he sheds, so brushing dogs is familiar to me, and I'd be more than happy to take care of that if requested. I'll also take dogs on walks and bathe them when asked. If your dogs require some playtime, I'm happy to meet those demands!
About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
About: Hi! We’re a husband-and-wife team who absolutely love caring for animals. We both work from home, so your pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We live on a beautiful 4-acre farm with a fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to stretch their legs, play, and enjoy the outdoors. We also have a comfortable, climate controlled cabin just for the pets where they can relax, nap, and have their own cozy space when they need some downtime. Our goal is to make every pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation not just being boarded. We treat every animal like family and are happy to follow their normal routines, schedules, feeding instructions, medications, and individual needs. 4-acre property Their own comfy pet cabin Both of us work from home Lots of attention & companionship Plenty of room to play and explore 15 years of animal care experience Dog rescue and shelter experience Husband and wife care A safe, relaxed, home style environment We also run a dog rescue and have been actively involved with animal shelters for years. With 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals, we understand how important patience, compassion, consistency, and individualized care are for every pet. We’d love to meet you and your pets and give them a fun, safe, and comfortable place to stay while you’re away! Pet care is a major part of our daily routine. My wife and I work from home, operate a professional boarding and K9 coaching business, and run a nonprofit dog rescue, so dogs are around us every day. Our routine includes scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, training, supervised outdoor time, crate/rest periods, medication when needed, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We keep a structured routine while also adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. Because we do this professionally, we’re used to managing multiple dogs while making sure each one gets the attention, supervision, and care they need. Our goal is for every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. I focus on providing a safe, calm, and structured environment whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain clean and secure spaces, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and routine. I’m experienced with crate use when requested, proper leash handling, and monitoring behavior to ensure pets remain safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds. I've always been the first person all my friends would call to take care of their pets. I've watched chickens, ducks, hourses, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, snakes ect. I never thought to make it a business I always just did it out of my love for animlas and knowing they would be safe with me. Now that I have more knowledge and experience it just makes me so happy I can help each and everyone of you while you are away doing something I absolutely love. ❤️ Im so incredibly thankful to say this is my full income so I'm home all day to play with your pets and keep them company at all hours if need to be! I take them on walks 3 times a day plus backyard time. Fed normally twice unless told otherwise, and endless play time with their breeds or endless snuggles. Cats are 24/7 off the walls so I tend to have to keep them occupied as well sometimes even put a leash on them for an adventure 🤭
About: I have been the main sitter for multiple friends a family for years. I have always loved dogs! I love getting to know their different personalities!

I work from home and have flexibility to be able to work from anywhere, which gives the flexibility to be able to do pet sitting! I live in an apartment that has a dog play area to let them run! I normally take walks on my breaks anyway so helping someone out walking and playing is accessible multiple times. If I was to watch at a clients home, I would be able to be there during work hours so your fur babies would be taken care of at your usual routine or more if wanted!

I currently work in part-time and am studying outside of work! I would only dog sit on days I am home and never leave for work. I enjoy studying with furry company and taking breaks with play time!

I have an office that's quiet at night which would be a great place to crate. I plan on caring for pets by playing with the dogs, studying during their wind down or rest time (with lots of petting), and attentively following the feeding schedule with alarms. I'm very keen on locking doors and keeping a tight grip on leashes for safety!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Van Alstyne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
